Putting 310 lb in context
- Combat sports. In pro boxing, 310 lb is heavyweight, the open class above the 200 lb cruiserweight limit. Under the unified MMA rules, 310 lb is over the 265 lb ceiling of the heavyweight division, so it could not make weight for a sanctioned bout.
- Shipping. UPS and FedEx parcel services accept single packages up to 150 lb and the USPS caps mail at 70 lb, so a 310 lb item usually ships as freight or is split into boxes.
- Body weight. As an adult body weight, 310 lb is above the 95th percentile for US men and above the 95th percentile for US women.
- Other planets. Mass stays 140.61 kg everywhere, but a bathroom scale calibrated on Earth would read about 23.2 kg (51 lb) on the Moon, 53.2 kg (117 lb) on Mars and 355 kg (784 lb) at Jupiter’s cloud tops, using NASA’s surface-gravity figures of 1.62, 3.71 and 24.79 m/s².
